A Card for Just Magnolia Challenge - "Mina's Sketch"

Good Afternoon Ladies, Ive got to admit Ive been rather busy lately with my DT work that Ive got a big behind with some of my challenges, but I thought Id have a go at this weeks Just Magnolia's one "Mina's Sketch" and Ive used this new stamp I received yesterday morning from H&S isnt she a poppet, the hair on the two girls is gorgeous wish mine was like that but oh well what can you expect when you get older. Anyway Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used my oval Nestabilitie die to cut her out and a scalloped one for the mount. The sentiment is one of the LOV circle stamps Ive also mounted this onto pink scalloped one to.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink pearlescent card and one of Donna's brand new digi papers this is from the "Spring Flight" (scroll down to the last post to see the new sets) set a very pretty pink base with dragonflies on it, on top of this I have layered up two more of the Bearlymine papers a gingham one and a spot one, each is white spots and squares with a pink background, these were layered up as asked by the sketch. Across the card at the bottom Ive wrapped two piece of lace and a ribbon was then placed on top, the mounted image was positioned in the middle and the sentiment at the bottom on the right.

To finish of Ive stuck several roses around the sentiment and the mounted image, the top ones arnt quite to the sketch but it looked a bit bare there so popped them their to.

great minds think alike Shirley, i have just coloured up this image and am just making it into a card following the same sketch.. I love the pinks of your card hun, the pretty lace and ribbon border.. beautiful. xxx

Beautiful card & so wonderfully colored. I LOVE that sweet image. How do you buy them ? Sure wish they'd make them available to us in the US as I would be a very good customer ... Love your work & those gorgeous papers. LOVE using Digis, not sure it's cost effective but I do love being able to buy the perfect sheet of paper at midnight without leaving my house. So that's a big plus to me. Hugs, Janie

About Me

Hi, My name is Shirley, and Im a 75 year old wife and grandmother, Ive been papercrafting for about 12 years, but have always been into knitting, sewing embroidery, painting and drawing, anything I can get my hands on.
My husband who's now retired is long suffering man who fortunately encourages me in my craft and Im really grateful for that.
I have three daughters, and two step daughters, and between my husband and I we have 10 grandchildren, 4 girls and 6 boys and 3 great grandsons.
My eldest grandson is 36 and is in the RAF and Im so proud of him, hes married with two gorgeous little boys. Our other grandchildren range from 1 years upwards.
I also live in the Forest of Dean, Gloucester, its the most beautiful place and I love living here.
I sincerely hope you will enjoy looking at my attempts in craft making.
I should also explain the origin of my name Nannieflash, this is what my grandchildren call me for the obvious reason, Im forever taking photos of them, and now my step-daughter has been christened Mummyflash for the same reason.
